Where would I go to sell my s-off dirty racun bootloader unlock not tampered tho. Rooted htc Evo LTE? I have never sold a used phone like this one... CLEAN S/N as I still have a sprint account. I was hoping a better place then craigslist. Any help would be much appreciated.

EBay or CL is probably your best bet. In my opinion..

watch out for eBay. I had a very dishonest buyer that bought a phone just like that from me. They claimed they couldn't activate it and basically ripped me off because they stole the clean ESN info off the phone and then proceeded to claim the phone couldn't be activated.

It's a troll comment. Ignore it. Anyone who thinks there is 'Obama phones" apparently watches faux news and therefore is talking out of their arse.

What do you mean he stole the clean esn? If he tried to activate it on sprint, can't you claim it stolen if you refunded his money? Did the buyer send the phone back to you?
I had a somewhat similar experience with an old (in nearly brand new condition) uscc flip phone I sold on ebay. The kid wanted to activate it on verizon. After he buys it (and pays for it), he tells me he plans on activating on verizon. Now, at the time I didn't know the first thing about these things. I told him I didn't think it would work, or if it did, it might require programming. The only promise I make is that it will work with uscc (being a uscc phone in the first place). He ends up demanding money back and claiming I lied to him about being able to activate on verizon. Anyways, ebay/paypal found in my favor as the item was as described (he did a SNAD claim).
Given what I know now, I would of told him he'd need to activate it on page plus or some other verizon mvno and that it would require programming to be functional.
At the end of the day, there are far too many idiots out there that can't read (and write), and best to only promise the device will work on the original carrier only. With respect to being soff, swappa is probably your best bet. I would think people shopping there actually have a clue to what unlocked/rooted/soff means and understand. Do keep in mind if you ship the device with a non stock based rom (ie, something not based on sense or touchwiz), activation modules will be missing and the user will not be able to do a handsfree/ota activation.
Im under the spending limit program for another 6 months and i wanna sim unlock for my travels...i came from htc one n i know they figured it out there...yall think the same thing may apply here for note 3 and sim unlock?

hi! I bought a Sprint Note 3 on Ebay. to make a long story short, phone is global. when dialing *#06#, it was giving me a MEID. it has a sim slot even tough it's with sprint witch is a cdma carrier. I called sprint and they give me a 6 digits code, telling me it's the unlock code. after a few research on google and messing around in the phone, I now get a IMEI number after dialing *#06#.
when dialing ##0011#, i see NETWORK: UNBLOCK. the phone work on the same frequncies as my carrier I'm trying to unlock the phone to. but I never found the key pad where to enter the unlock code to actually unlock the phone (supposed to restart the phone with the wrong sim card and a "please enter unlock code" prompt should appear, but not me). I used it to get in the data hidden menu (##3282#), and that it. my sim card does not work, and I'm out of options...
Somebody knows what to do?

So apparently there is a problem with using data abroad with another provider's sim. The Acces Point setting is unable to be changed. I was told the S4 had the same problem which just recently was fixed by Samsung in a firmware update.
Nice.... Was really counting on this feature sitting here in Barbados and next week in Spain..
Any gurus here who can fix this?

The 90 day thing is for the phone. If it hasn't been active for 90 days they open a case and call you in 24-48 hours depending on their work load. I had mine unlocked the day after release. It can be done from the international chat. It's different than the regular chat.

This describes how you can Flash Sprint Note 3 to Reliance/Cricket/Metro
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521369
Getting MSL is really easy using application SPCUtility.apk
http://tools.flashingtools.com/SPCUtility.apk
Now have anyone tried to take note 3 with GSM SIM unlock code outside of the US and use it with a foreign SIM?
Do you need to mod the build.prop? Why do you need to if you can access APN menu without it?
also someone above said: "but without spc cant possible to unlock it for GSM carrier."
How can you unlock GSM with SPC? just for international use of for US carriers as well?
You can acces the APN menu but you can't change anything without the build.prop change...

ok, I see the "+" button goes to the "add APN" but everything is grayed out so it can only be used to switch between existing APNs but not adding a new one.
However I've just tried to use APN manager Pro and I was able to add an APN without modding the build.prop
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ale.android.apnmanagerwithanimation&hl=en
Also from my experience with traveling with modded Sprint's Note 2, it is easier to download xml file with huge database of APNs and inject it with APN manager pro. Some lists are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35753093&postcount=3
I've attached my backup that can be restored with APN manager pro
This way when you insert a SIM card it automatically pics up a correct APN.

No - on both counts. Sprint is a CDMA network. No GSM phones - AT&T included - will work on Sprint.
Sprint uses an esn master list. If that phone isn't on it it can't be activated. (Only Sprint phones are on the list btw)

The unlock that Sprint does is not a true factory unlock, since the phone can only be used in other countries if they do it. All of the above phones can be truly factory unlocked for use with any GSM carrier in the world, even in the US. I wouldn't say the iPhones are free, and it's not technically a factory unlock. But for all the Android models, yes. You just need to have the tools and the knowledge. I run my own business doing software support for smartphones and tablets, and Sprint unlocking is something that I do lots of.
